Raitt is a master – or should that be mistress? – of Strat slide. Her career has had numerous ups and downs but the uninitiated should head straight for 1998 album Fundamental.
Raitt was honoured with her own signature Strat in the ‘90s, boasting a narrower-than-normal neck, large ‘70s headstock and Seymour Duncan Texas Hot Strat pickups.
